After a lot of investigation I got down to the root of the problem. There are two ways to upload a photo and attach to the Color Section background. 1) Upload the photo first using Media Library, then when attaching the photo to the Color Section, select it from the Media Library. or 2) While attaching the photo to the Color Section, go to “Upload Files”.. then upload, then set the Attachment Display Settings to FULL SIZE. If you do method (1) you may have forgotten that the photo was originally uploaded with the default Attachment Display Setting of THUMBNAIL, which is what I had been doing. Since you’re not at a place where that setting can be set (or seen), it isn’t obvious that the setting is wrong, ie. should be FULL SIZE instead. Whether or not you have Background Repeat set to NONE or STRETCH TO FIT doesn’t matter in this case since the Color Section always tries to “stretch to fit” apparently.

There does appear to be a real bug in that sometimes Background Image Position of “CENTER CENTER” actually handles the picture the same as “TOP CENTER”, which is incorrect. Can you please log that issue as a real bug and have it be put in the queue to be fixed? I’m not exactly sure under what specific conditions this occurs, but I was able to reproduce it. I’d really like to get this fixed as I like the Enfold Theme a lot and am using it for many websites.

Thanks!

@merlinmedia:

Here’s the clip of the bottom of my new functions.php file just so you can see what it looks like when modified. I also had the question regarding overwriting when updating the theme.

Just to make sure that this is the problem you should firm do a test email where you enter your own email into the Email field. That email should be delivered okay, as then both the sender and receiver are the same authenticate-able address. Are you using an SMTP plug-in?
